Any racers out there race/drive with a welded diff or a spool before? Does it work well, or is an LSD "safer"? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Brant makes a good point and he is "used to it" which can take some time I imagine. A couple of years ago at am HSR-West race at Willow Springs there was a yellow 356 with a spool diff and the car was very interesting to watch going around turns 8 and 9. I followed it for several laps and it reminded me of a crab as it seemed to want to go sideways and the driver was constantly making little turn corrections where others were rounding the turns smoothly with little steering input. They finally parked it and it was latter sold and the spool was removed I think? Personally I like the feel of my GT limited unit when turning tight corners like I have in the Mexico races.
